Following an exciting week of on-court moments, it's time to recap the last week of adidas Basketball sneakers in the NBA.

Who's the early front-runner for the NBA's Most Improved Player Award? Look no further than Philadelphia, where point guard Jrue Holiday is putting up the best numbers of his young career. Over the past week, Holiday led the Sixers to a 2-1 record, the lone defeat coming in a highly competitive game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Last night, Jrue scored 18 points and dropped 7 dimes to lift Philly to a 100-98 win over the Dallas Mavericks. Holiday's footwear of choice? A red-based Player Exclusive colorway of the Crazy Shadow.

Yesterday, the Minnesota Timberwolves announced that Ricky Rubio has been cleared for full-contact practices and could return to the court sometime next month. That's also great news for adidas, who inked the international star to a multi-year endorsement deal over the summer. While we wait for Rubio to lace up in stripes for the first time, you can check out his new #Approved commercial with Foot Locker.
